A glass casing comprises: at least one, notably two rigid or semi-rigid transparent glass substrates on, or between, which is arranged at least one thermal, electrical and/or active electrochemical system. The casing is equipped with at least one waterproof joint (6) in contact with at least one of the electrical or electrochemical materials of said system; the joint containing compounds essentially lacking in species or chemical functions capable of diffusing through joint and reacting (electro) chemically with one or more of the materials in tension band; affecting operating temperature of system; or polluting system. Also claimed are a method of making casing in which at least one joint (6, 7, 8) is applied by extrusion; and the above waterproof joint. |
